Come see “BIRDHOUSEINCATTREE”
Posted by BootsCAS on February 27th, 2010 | No Comments »
The opening reception for Wilhelm Neusser’s “BIRDHOUSEINCATTREE” took place last Friday at Boots Contemporary Art Space. Hailing from Germany, Wilhelm has been Boots’ artist in residency for the past several months. As an artist whose past work has conveyed a keen interest in the vulnerable underbelly of architectural spaces, Wilhelm Neusser pursues this train of thought by playfully displaying the animal lover as architect. His new collection of paintings and sculptures render pet’s manmade domestic structures in surreal backdrops and tenable juxtapositions.
The opening for the show was a sound success, with a healthy turnout and many positive responses! Attendees were captivated by the sculptural installations in the front room, one of which showcases a birdhouse in the center of a spherical web of silver branches hanging from the ceiling. We were pleased to have Neusser be the first artist to exhibit painting at Boots. The paintings’ masterful execution and bold use of deep reds, neon pinks, and hazy bluish grays left people intrigued by the medium’s aesthetic vitality. Thank you to everyone who attended! The exhibition is on display at Boots on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12-5 pm, and other times by appointment. Boots is located on 2307 Cherokee St. for more information please visit www.bootscontemporaryartspace.org
